Steve Moses, Michael Bond in Kansas
Stephen A. Moses of The Center for Long-Term Care Reform, Inc., and Medicaid expert Michael Bond, both adjunct scholars of The Flint Hills Center, are spending a good bit of this week in Kansas discussing Medicaid reform with key officials and stakeholders. Here's an excerpt from the update Steve just posted on his website about the trip:
The Center for Long-Term Care Reform has a longstanding relationship with the State of Kansas. A Kansas state legislator served on our predecessor organization's Board of Directors. Center president Steve Moses has testified before the state legislature three times over the years. Last year, he joined the Chairman of the Kansas House Appropriations Committee to present three "Legislative Long-Term Care Academies" across the length and breadth of the Sunflower State.
Since 2002, the Center has been invited three times to propose a project toward the goal of controlling Kansas's Medicaid long-term care costs while improving the program's access, quality and coverage.
[T]he current study will involve only one week of field work. Our focus will be on the status of and potential for the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 instead of OBRA '93, HIPAA '96, and BBA '97.
Our "LTC Embed" reports from the state-level long-term care policy front in Kansas will fill in the details throughout the coming week. We expect to complete our report on long-term care service delivery and financing in Kansas within three weeks of finishing this week's field work. Stay tuned.
